Unlike an essay on literature or the Russian language, where the minimum amount of work is clearly stipulated and general thinking is allowed (“philosophizing” without specification), in the essay on essayyodasocial science the volume is not limited, but its structure and content are fundamentally different. An essay on social studies is actually the answer to the question: “Do I agree with this statement and why?”. That is why in the essay on social studies must be present a strong argument, scientific and concrete. At the same time, it should be noted that often as a topic of an essay, rather paradoxical, unusual statements are used, requiring figurative thinking, an unconventional approach to solving a problem. This inevitably leaves its mark on the style of essay writing, requires maximum concentration of forces and attention.
